that's crazy... especially when JAM can have 2M messages and at least MSG can
store up to 99999999...

 WV> Why do you need that?

some software doesn't take kindly to renumbering the messages underneath it...
JAMNNTPD comes to mind... so why pack, you ask? to remove deleted and dead
message bodies... every time you edit a JAM message, the header is updated to
the new message body location and the old one is left floating as trash...
packing the message bases removes the dead wood from deletions and edits...
